Kapil Sibal on Indian soldier’s mutilation: Why is PM Modi silent?
"After the horrifying surgical strike that took place months ago, we thought that India will not face any such attacks but our hopes are all shattered. Only a full time defence minister can create a full time strategy towards growth and security," said Sibal in a press conference.

"After the horrifying surgical strike that took place months ago, we thought that India will not face any such attacks but our hopes are all shattered. Only a full time defence minister can create a full time strategy towards growth and security," said Sibal in a press conference.
Slamming the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) over the promises it made during elections, Sibal further asked why the Prime Minister is silent on such a grave and serious situation.
"I am shocked as well as ashamed at the Indian Government. I wish to remind our Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who during elections promised many things, but now seem to be quiet. He has also many a times tried joining hands for friendship with Pakistan but nothing worked out, so India should not wait anymore and rather take action quickly," said Sibal.
Meanwhile Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley met Prime Minister Modi here today and had a discussion on the mutilation.
